Chapter 221: Chapter 220 Knox Ridge’s Troubles_l

Translator: 549690339

When Knox Ridge saw those shattered flower pots at the door, she felt like killing someone.

Ever since she got older, she had grown fond of planting flowers and growing grass.

In the beginning, when Julius Reed was around, things were still okay.

Although she harbored resentment, she didn’t dare to behave too recklessly.

During the time Julius went to Five-river Province, she completely took charge of the house, repeatedly moving a decade’s worth of possessions into this stand-alone western-style house.

So much so, that Quella Radcliffe was forced to vacate a room just for Knox Ridge to use for her flowers.

And now, look what happened—the floor was covered in broken flower pots and scattered soil mixed with fallen leaves.

“This…”

Knox Ridge pushed open the car door, her body trembling with rage.

“Be careful!”

Just then, Burl Radcliffe quickly pulled her back.

With a crack, another flower pot fell from above, shattering to pieces right in front of Knox Ridge.

“Clean up all this junk; it’s an eyesore!”

Julius Reed’s voice came from upstairs, followed by the people from Willson

Pavilion who came out one by one, heartlessly throwing out bags and luggage.

“Julius Reed! You bastard! How dare you treat me like this! The Radcliffe Family fed you for three years, and it was all wasted on a dog!”

Seeing all her belongings thrown out, holding onto a sliver of hope that she might still live in the house, Knox Ridge cursed loudly.

In fact, the moment Julius produced the property deed, Knox Ridge regretted her actions, but as a person who cared about face, even if she knew the consequences could be severe, she insisted on pushing forward.

“Since we’re divorced, there is no relationship between us! Besides, did I freeload at your house for three years? Doing housework, washing clothes—if you hired a maid, it would have cost a fair amount of money, right?”

Julius Reed looked down from upstairs at the exasperated Knox Ridge, shaking his head with a smile.

There’s only one way to deal with a scoundrel like this—by being an even bigger scoundrel.

“Mr. Radcliffe! Let’s go! My daughter is the Chairman of the Radcliffe Group.

This lousy house—I could buy ten of them!”

Fuming with rage, Knox Ridge pulled Burl Radcliffe back into the car, even considering leaving the luggage behind.

But without luggage and daily necessities, where would the elderly couple live?

So, Burl Radcliffe reluctantly thickened his skin and, together with Quella Radcliffe, packed up some essential items and tossed them into the trunk of the Passat.

Otherwise, once they got home and had nothing, Knox Ridge would surely delegate the task to him.

Nobody dared to initiate conversation on the road, knowing that Knox Ridge was still furious. Burl Radcliffe obediently kept his mouth shut, while Quella Radcliffe quietly exchanged messages with Julius Reed on her phone.

Although she felt a little sorry for her parents, if they didn’t do this, the old couple might endlessly try to persuade them to separate.

Arriving downstairs at the old house, Knox Ridge walked up the stairs in a huff, not even waiting for the two of them.

After getting used to living in a detached western-style house, it was awkward for her to return to such an old community housing.

“Quella, hurry up and buy a house!”

After Burl Radcliffe had moved all the stuff upstairs, Knox Ridge sat on the sofa with utmost seriousness, looking at Quella.

Now that her daughter was the Chairman of the Radcliffe Group, although Knox Ridge still had some fear of Zade Radcliffe, she was much bolder.

Usually arrogant towards the three of them, now they didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.

Knox Ridge enjoyed this feeling very much.

“Mom, although I’m the chairman of the company, to show my determination in restructuring finances, I specifically set up a financial monitoring department. Including myself, no employee can touch the company’s money,” Quella explained helplessly.

To prevent rumors from spreading within the company and to put an end to the bad habits left by the Zade Radcliffe’s era, Quella established the financial monitoring department with the help and advice of Dempsey Davenport.

No matter who it is, any involvement with the company’s finances must go through the Auditing Department.

That wav _ those who intend to slander Oilella Radcliffe will find themselves

without a starting point.

Many Radcliffe Clan members were accustomed to taking money from the company on a regular basis, and now they are finding the recent crackdown quite unbearable.

“Don’t give me that useless talk! Just tell me, how much money can you pull out now! ”

Knox Ridge asked impatiently.

In her view, when the old man had been the chairman, Otis Radcliffe, who was merely a general manager, had managed to rake in a good amount of money every year.

Now that Quella Radcliffe had taken the chairman’s seat, wouldn’t it be a piece of cake to squeeze out some money?

Even if it wasn’t tens of millions, surely a few million would still be easy, right?

Although Knox Ridge had long since left her position at Radcliffe Group, she had heard that the group had been thriving lately, with its valuation rising higher than ever, even surpassing the market value during Zade Radcliffe’s time.

With such a profit-making company, the chairman must be making a killing,

“Currently, for my personal disposal, I have roughly six or seven hundred thousand at most!”

Quella Radcliffe said helplessly.

It was a rule she had set herself that no dividends would be distributed until the end of the year.

Intending to overhaul the Radcliffe Group completely, how could she possibly break her own rule first? Down below were countless eyes watching her, just waiting for her to slip up and create momentum for Zade Radcliffe and others.

However, based on the company’s current development, distributing tens of millions at the end of the year shouldn’t be a problem.

Even though Quella Radcliffe had lowered her own share quite a bit, she was still the actual controlling shareholder, and Radcliffe Group was now in a strong position, on track to joining the top ranks of Gonzalez City businesses.

“What? Only a few hundred thousand?”

Knox Ridge’s face was filled with disbelief upon hearing her daughter’s response.

“Right! A little over six hundred thousand…”

Quella Radcliffe didn’t include the money Julius Reed had given her and simply calculated her own salary.

If she was to teach her parents a lasting lesson, she had to be ruthless and make them suffer a bit.

“A little over six hundred thousand can’t buy a damn house!” Knox Ridge said angrily before turning to head back to her bedroom.

But before she could return, her phone rang.

Upon seeing the caller, Knox Ridge’s demeanor immediately shifted, “Third sis, what is it?”

“Sis, I just came to see you and was turned away! I was at your place this morning; how come I wasn’t allowed in this afternoon? And my clothes, why were they thrown outside the door?”

The inquiry from Knox Ridge’s younger sister came through the phone: “Sis, what is the meaning of this?”

“Ah, third sis, I’m not at home right now, it might be the maid’s mistake. Don’t worry for now, I’ll call the housekeeper and find out what’s going on.”

Knox Ridge’s face turned red with embarrassment as she hurriedly made up a defense out of thin air.

Ever since moving into the mansion, it seemed she couldn’t wait to let everyone know, informing all her relatives.

This morning, her younger sister came up from the county town by bus, planning to stay for a few days.

Who would have expected that after a short trip to the mall to buy some clothes, she would come back to find herself barred from entering the house? The bodyguards were so furious that Grayson Ridge didn’t dare say a word.

“Hurry up! I’m still carrying things!”

Grayson Ridge’s impatient voice resonated once again through the phone..
